fit and fabulous (ya I said it )

Well it has been awhile since I had an entry. That is not because I haven’t been exercising but because I have been so busy between exercising and homework (finals coming) that I haven’t had much of a chance to write.


So I defiantly found my exercise niche with the DVD that is a total Body Makeover.

It works all of your muscles in 55 minutes. I am at a point where I am starting to gain muscle so the weight is not coming off so fast. This is of course discouraging because there is nothing better than seeing those numbers drop, but I consol myself in the fact that sooner or later they will drop.

Proverbs 23:11 says …The desire of the Righteous ends only in good. And it is my desire to look fit and fabulous (ya I said it ) and as a daughter of the King I know that my desire to be fit will end well.

I know that I have to do more than just desire…I have to act. This is where I am so glad to be a Christian because every day I have the Holy Spirit to assist me in making the right choices as far as weight goes. It is wonderful how He will nudge or encourage or challenge me at just the right time.

I am blessed!!!

Oh ya...15 and 1/2 pounds lost so far!!!

I'm comeing along

Loveing my exercising routine, losing the weight. Very busy but loveing life! I am excited at the prospect of being not only just "back to my old self" but better than my old self. 


Watch out World!!!!!

Gluttony

So as much as I love the wiifit I realized that it was just not working out for me. I am “all or nothing” sort of person and I needed something that was gonna kick my butt.



I remember that back about two years ago I had bought “The Firm” It promised results in ten workouts. Back then I thought it was tough and that it why I had only used it a few times before putting it away.


That right there was my problem. That is the main reason why I am here. My not wanting to do the hard things. The bible says the flesh is weak and I admit when it comes to my “flesh” I have been a weak willed whinny apathetic Christian.


I have not thought of my body as a temple. No I have thought of it more as my own person garbage dump. I really didn’t care what I was doing to it.


You know it is amazing but the sin that you never hear most preachers mention is the sin of gluttony. What an ugly word that is. It is something I did not want to face until I heard a pastor speak on it. He said that many pastors who will scream and shout about sins like adultery, and gossiping will never mention gluttony. He said they will never do it because they themselves are guilty of it and it shows.


That statement really drove home for me that I really had a problem. His next statement caused me to really think. He said it is a sin because we are destroying our bodies. That God wants us on top of our game so that we will live long lives. He said that there have been many great preachers who died young due to just this sin.


I am not saying that every person is overweight due to gluttony. No I know there are various reasons. But it I personally want to do everything that I have been called to do by God (and be around for my kids) I need to do everything I can to keep the body God gave me in the best shape possible.


So I made a choice to put healthy things in and have picked up my copy of “They Firm” dusted it off and am working hard. I am three exercises in. I am excited to see if it is really true that you get visible results in 10 workouts.

Tired of being the fat chick!

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms!


Ephesians 6:12

And boy have I been struggling. Talk about wishy washy! One minute I am gonna “get er don” and the next moment “I’m done”.

But you know how in every group photo or just group in general there is always mostly skinny people and the one fat chick?

Well I just came to the realization that I am tired of being the fat chick!

Yes I have fallen of my horse, and stayed down for quite awhile but I am getting back on and this time I am super-gluing my seat to the saddle!

Wahooo!!!! It feels good to be back!!!
